[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What sort of work does your wife do, OP? Is it related to her education or work before kids?

I went back to work after being in a similar situation to what you’re describing and frankly, it sucks, but [b]I do it to help out financially.[/b] I had to start at the bottom and am slowly working my way back up basically being the office mule. This is after spending most of my adult life supporting DH in his career with our family relocating multiple times allowing him to build an executive-level profile. He’s where he wants to be career-wise and I’m starting from scratch reporting to people 20 years younger who act like they have all the answers.

To all the people who talk about the OPs spouse having so much time to relax, yes, it is easier being a stay at home spouse, but I wouldn’t call it relaxing. OP has 3 kids. That’s a crap ton of work.

Regardless, OP’s spouse is out of line saying that he ruined her life. It sounds like they lead a pretty privileged life and she’s taking it for granted. [/quote]
This is the issue. A working mom isn’t “helping financially”, she’s paying for her own f***ing life. Just like a man isn’t “babysitting” when he cares for his own children. 
Op, both of you are adults. If she doesn’t want to behave as one, she’s welcome to try her luck as a single gal in her 50s and see what life is actually like [/quote]

NP: and get half the assets and likely substantial alimony? I’m not sure that is the best solution for OP here.

Then again, it doesn’t sound like they were exactly big savers, so maybe there isn’t a lot to split up. [/quote]
